Thanks for the video, I’ve been crabbing from a kayak from years along the New England coastline and rarely caught less than 20 crabs on my each trip. I use a chicken wing and tie a knot a foot about the chicken wing and another know a foot about that to let me know when I am near the crab. The crabs will let go when they get close to the surface. Funny also caught quite a few Terrapin turtles over the years. A lot of work involved cooking and cleaning them for an awesome crab sauce I make but we’ll work it. Thanks again and be safe.
Thanks! Unfortunately we forgot the tongs this day. A cull ring would be helpful too. Brady had a tape measure sticker on the inside of his kayak that we used to check the borderline crabs.
@@watersedgetvI have a few sets a tongs that I keep with my crabbing gear. I meant a bushel basket culling ring. It goes on top of your bushel basket to give you more space to fill the bushel. You can remove it when you top of your bushel. You can make one by cutting off the top half of a bushel basket. They sell metal ones in some stores.
@@KiviStrauss rockfish spawn in rivers, you can catch them up and down river mouths early in the season, after they spawn out they go back out into the bay, later on you might be able to catch some schoolies in the rivers, but they will be few and far in between. if you wanna catch big rockfish right now, go get on a charter
We put in right in front of the college campus down there. No ramp but you can easily walk the kayak down to the little beach right there. We were crabbing in four to eight feet of water.
Where are you guys at to be setting so many traps without a commercial license? Down here in NC where I am I can only have 6 traps and every marker has to be marked with my license number.
Look for grassy beds in 5-10 feet of water, if you’re unsure just go fishing for catfish and if your bait gets stolen every 30 seconds, you’re in prime crabbing territory 😂
Man be careful with turtles, if that had been a snapping turtle he could have bitten your finger off. You’d be surprised how long their necks are. A snapping turtle can bite its own tail.

I knew of kayak fishing, but kayak crabbing, now im very interested 😁
It is a lot of fun!
Great job. Liked seeing your process for kayaking from a kayak. We normally crab off a bridge.
Crabbing off a kayak is fun, but we have done plenty of pier/bridge crabbing over the years too. Both can be very productive.

Thanks for the insight into your kayak crabbing adventures! Always fun. Good luck and be safe on your next outing!
I just went crabbing last during july 4th. Crabs werent running that great 4 hours got about 30 of them. Nice to see someone having luck out there!
It was a tough early season, but things are getting better!
Nice work Bro. Good eating Crabs 🦀
Thank you! blue crabs are delicious!
Some rhode river content would be awesome! (Im struggling to find rockfish in the rhode)
I will try to make that happen!

Nice work. You should invest in some tongs and a cull ring for the kayak.

I feel like I know this area but I can’t put my finger on it.😂
I have been using metal ring nets on my kayak. I can fit 10-15 of them inside a bushel basket perfectly.
That sounds convenient!
Great video!! Id be lying if I said fishing wasn’t one of the top 2 reasons I went to that school😂😂
@@Npapava thanks! Same here, it was great being able to fish after class when I was there
Absolutely👍
Use to do a lot of kayak crabbing in the patapasco river in Baltimore. I had better luck putting the 5 gallon bucket in that front hatch.
nice catch.
Thank you very much!
Wow...great crabbing!
Thanks!
Great job fellas, just gave you a sub 👊🏻
Awesome thank you!
Cool video! Any recommendations for the brand of collapsible traps? Looks like there are a lot of options out there
Any local tackle shop will have quality ones. I cant reccommend one over another
Can u do more rockfish fishing im frustrated because i dont know where the fish are can u tell me plz or do a video
Yes I can. Just filmed on two days ago that will be coming out shortly. There have been fish around Poplar Island but overall the bite is spotty
They’re back out deep man. I saw some busting on the susky while catfishing this week but they’re few and far in between.
@@SeeMzFTW everyone is telling me different things is dont get it can u be more specific

Where do you do most of your crabbing at? We usually ngl like to hit the bush river!
Great video
Thanks!
Hey! Where can I get some crab traps like that? Do you have a link?
Facebook marketplace is load with topless traps
Most of the tackle shops in Maryland carry them!
Where do you guys launch kayak at st mary rivers?
I just got my kayak and want to go crabbing. What boat ramp did you launch out of in St Mary river? Also what depth are you working with?
We put in right in front of the college campus down there. No ramp but you can easily walk the kayak down to the little beach right there. We were crabbing in four to eight feet of water.
Done any crabbing on pax river ?
Where are you crabbing that you’re pulling multiples on so many traps?
We live in Maryland and are allowed 30 collapsable traps per licensed recreational angler.
@@watersedgetv. I also live and recreational crab in Md. I’m just wondering what body of water you’re on.
Your buddy kept trynna one up you. Every time “oh I caught more then that” etc… 😭
Which landing do you use? I notice there are several on the river.
We dump the kayaks in the water right in front of the college. We park on the shoulder and walk the kayaks down to the water.
@@watersedgetv Thanks ... annually we have a family crab feast and it sure would be fun to get our own.

What kayak are you running?
I use a Brookly Kayak Company BKC 12
Did you guys pay master "for permission" to catch and eat those crabs ? !
Where are the spots in southern Maryland?
This was in the St. Mary's River!
@@watersedgetvthanks any recommended none live bait for perch and rock fish?

Very glad it wasn't a snapping turtle!
If you have to measure them, it ain't worth it 😊
You've got a point!
